Using ribosome engineering (RE), researchers from Shinshu University introduced mutations affecting the protein synthesis ...

Compared with traditional breeding or genetic engineering, ribosomal engineering (RE) is an inexpensive, rapid, and safe ...

Researchers have engineered yeast to efficiently convert methanol into D-lactic acid, a key compound for biodegradable plastics and pharmaceuticals. By optimizing gene and promoter combinations, they ...

A small research-based Norwegian company has developed a method to reduce the formation of the carcinogenic compound acrylamide during industrial production of potatoes and coffee. International food ...

Bacteria, including some bacteria in a person’s gut, make lactic acid during fermentation. Manufacturers add lactic acid to food to extend its shelf life, although in some foods, it occurs naturally.

Lactic acid is often vegan, but this is not always the case, as its sources include dairy products and meat. It occurs naturally in some foods, but manufacturers may add it to certain foods to extend ...
